What to expect?
A 2 hour whale-watching tour on a speedy RIB boat from the harbour of Husavik, The Whale Capital of Iceland. The tour begins with a sail to the beautiful Skjálfandi bay. There are many whale species that are known to be accommodated in Skjálfandi bay. For example, the Humpback whale, the Minke whale, dolphins, porpoises… More than 10 different species!
The RIB boats seat 12 passengers per boat, each with an expert whale-watching guide and captain on board. The focus is on small group tours, eliminating competition for the best view on board. Each passenger gets a warm suit and a life jacket on board.
